To the mother of our future child,
We want to start off by thanking you for thinking of us when
making this difficult choice. We believe adoption is the most loving thing you
can do for your child and we admire your courage and strength. We are looking
forward to growing our family. As adoptive parents, we will provide
unconditional love, stability and nourishment for your child. This will be a
special time in our life and our love is endless. Your child will know that
they were loved before ever even being born. We will be open and honest with
your child and provide all the love and support you are seeking for your child.
We have not been able to have a child of our own; however,
adoption has always been part of our plan for our family. We know this is a very
hard decision, but we want you to know that we love you and will raise your
child in a warm, loving environment. We will pray as a family. We hope to give
you the comfort of knowing how much your child will be loved and cared for, not
only by our family, but also by grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and
many close friends.
We both have a very strong set of values. We believe in
kindness and compassion to others. We give back to our community and
participate in our church. We will raise your child to have the same strong
values that we have and to grow to be a compassionate, kind and respectful
person, as well as accepting of all people.
Our city provides endless opportunities. It is abundant in
cultural diversity. It’s our goal as parents to raise a child with stability,
good values and a hard work ethic. We want your child to explore the endless
opportunities whether it be academic, arts or athletics. This support does not
stop here. We will be there emotionally for the ups and downs your child will
go through. We will work through the good and the bad as a family.
We moved this year to a new home that we built with the idea
of having a growing family. Community is very important and having a nice
neighborhood was one aspect that was high on our list. Our home has 6 bedrooms
and 4 bathrooms, a backyard and porches for playtime and space for entertaining
family and friends. We are looking forward to filling our home with the sounds
of laughter and love. The neighborhood has a large community of families and
several parks for children to play sports, partake in arts and crafts, music or
other activities. There are lifeguarded beaches just blocks away from us. We
look forward to taking your child to baseball games and football games.
Gretchen is an avid swimmer and is looking forward to teaching your baby how to
swim at a young age. Richard is looking forward to holding a hand to cross the
street and leading them through life. Our love is endless and we love you and
your baby.
Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know a
little about us. We hope to get to know you too.
With Love,
Richard and Gretchen
